Downtown San Francisco

Downtown San Francisco is the downtown area of San Francisco, California. It includes the neighborhoods of Chinatown, the Civic Center, Nob Hill, and the Financial District, and the neighborhood was completely destroyed by the 1906 earthquake before being rebuilt in the 1910s. During the 1980s, a skyscraper boom hit the neighborhood, and its unpopularity among residents led to building restrictions being emplaced.
